I just made my first pot of bone broth ever - I made my family save me all their lamb bones from dinner and threw them in a pot. I seriously could have drunk the stuff on it's own, it smelled so umami and delicious. I did, actually, that night, because I couldn't go to sleep, so I figured the hot broth would make me sleepy.
However, today I chipped the white fat off the top of the broth (it gelled really well) and used it to fry sliced onions for French onion soup and some garlic until it was soft, then added the broth with some water and herbs and simmered it. It's really good - I've had it with my breakfast and lunch. I think that's what I'll end up doing from now on, French onion is easily my favorite soup.

Yum, that's going on my menu rotation for the week. Thanks for the idea!

Oh my god French Onion soup! I am so glad I clicked on this topic. I didn't realize you could make it with bone broth! I usually just drink it as is, or if it's like jello, sometimes I eat it as beef jello.

I make carrot and coriander soup, spinach and coconut soup, courgette and tarragon soup, "leftover" soup, and I also use my stock when frying meats to add a little liquid to the pan and moistness to the meat, for reducing down and making a sauce, adding to vegetables to give a little bit of body to the taste. I also put some in mashed potatoes (when I do them for the children), in mashed cauliflower for me, and always add some to any savoury sauce I make.

Thanks Golangrock...My onion soup came out wonderful! It never occured to me to make that at home.

It's just another day in paradise
As you stumble to your bed
You'd give anything to silence
Those voices ringing in your head
You thought you could find happiness
Just over that green hill
You thought you would be satisfied
But you never will-
Learn to be still
